We LOVE Fucking Children! Whether with GROWN MAN PENIS or DEFUNDING EDUCATION or Legalizing CHILD LABOR us Republicans LOVE Fucking Children!
-LITERALLY, NO JOKE, EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN!
Save the children [for us].
"If they're old enough for sex, they're old enough for work." Republican logic.
Also reminder that 100% of all Republican logic begins with a fallacy
They also enjoy using them for their sexual enjoyment
Children for Republicans serve all their carnal purposes
That's the "GROWN MAN PENIS" bit.
Same goes for women teachers too.
The sad thing is I remember this Fox anchor saying this before months ago. As in either this clip is being re-used or re relished in the way his base reacted to it and wanted to double down on it
Because they haven't figured out how to fuck foetuses yet.
How our forebearers handled the Nazis and Confederates wasn't good enough. We have to be more complete this time
Yeah, let's definitely go back to this.
Five-year-old Nicki really wishes her staunchly Republican family had been exposed to this deep wisdom when she grew up on a farm.
Bathing was my least favorite thing at that point in time, yet I was still expected to do it daily.
Or this. All those unaborted abandoned babies can be shoved down the chimneys.
The children yearn for the mines!
Funny how allowing the owner class to exploit children is phrased to imply it's giving children a choice. 🤮
This is Republicans soft launching "children yearn for the mines" rhetoric. USA is effectively regressing and removing what originally made this country "great." I fear for my children as they grow older. I can only do so much as a parent to steer them onto a path of least hardship, but Republicans are increasingly making that difficult.
I don't think we started out great, honestly. Our history is pretty fucking dark. I think we could have been great, and we might have even been getting close. But I absolutely agree that the progress we have made is regressing in front of our eyes. Worse, anybody who doesn't celebrate this senseless destruction is also being demonized.
It isn't going to be their children doing it either, it will be ours.
Their own children have a choice!
So instead of having the rich and powerful abuse and assault immigrants they should abuse and assault children? Maybe on an island? Is there a list?
I heard about some Epstein list or something.
Funnily, I could swear when I was a kid I’ve seen it called the “Epstain List”
What the fuck does he mean by "allow". You think the kids want to work? Dear God, the kids want to be hanging out. Maybe playing some video games or going to the pool or shit like that.
At least be honest. You want to jack up rent so high that their parents can't afford to pay it so the parents make the kids chip in. That's what you want, because you're a sick motherfucker.
Allow, as in let them work like they used to, with little to no regulation. It was never about kids wanting to work.
They reopen Epstein's Island to "reform" the ones that don't want to work hard enough.
In my area farms and branches that employ teenagers make sure to give them the easiest work. The reason being kids are vindictive little shits who will hold onto a grudge and only enact on it when you are at serious risk of mutilation or death, sure they could pull the emergency cord on the wood chipper or they can turn the other way and pretend to hear nothing. So teenagers do sales or porter work nothing strenuous.
Also if my example seems weirdly specific that's because it's based off an incident in the 90s that is passed around as a cultural reinforcement of why you don't piss off young workers. Not to say adults won't also fuck you over but usually they have more autonomy allowing them to get it out of their system, more property damage less watching you die a pitiful death.
In their fantasy, it’s not teenagers. Think more 12 and under. This was reality believe it or not, less than 100 yeas ago.
Not saying they want teenagers, moreso pointing out that if teenagers can let nature takes its course on you then literal children would do it without hesitation. Children will literally watch a building burn in fascinated calmness before thinking to call 911 would anyone want to work around that. Not the kids fault they're kids their brains aren't fully formed that means they can be socially questionable little psychos.
Just look at those plucky young entrepreneurs living their best life:
I feel like anyone suggesting this has never interacted with a child.
Perhaps surprisingly, most kids will happily pick fruit for say, 15 minutes.
If you want them to do it for 40 hours a week that's going to require some extreme motivation.
Yeah and they aren’t paying well, so.. beat them?
If they dont want to pick fruit maybe trump can fuck them
There's a side effect to this which I don't think anyone is picking up: an inherent devaluing of the work that immigrants do here. They pivoted from "immigrants are criminals and rapists" to "OK, maybe some aren't, but the ones who aren't are doing work so simple your kids could do it".
I had so many different crap and low-paying jobs from the age of about 14 to after graduating from college, and - the first job that paid much was a farm and it was under the table and it was rough. The only job that possibly worked me harder (although since it was at crazy hours of the night, at least it was not quite as hot) was at a packaging place, unloading/loading trucks.
I felt the same way as you - definitely motivated me to finish the degree so I could do nearly anything else, especially if it was indoors and had HVAC.
I'm sure cons would say that is something that molded me into who I am today, but I'm not someone that then wants to turn around and also want people that follow me to have it just as bad; I want people to have it better than I did, FFS.
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?
Not me. I didn't think Republicans would strip away child labor laws. There would be no way, Republicans would put children, in dangerous working environments. Republicans are all about loving children.
if there was a god, and god wasn't a sick twisted evil fuck like in the bible, all these fuckers would die from horrendously painful burn damage after surviving a lightning strike
Sounds great, I can’t wait to see 10 year olds roofing my house in July.
Send them to live in a shack on a farm instead of going to school.
The idea of having to worry about my kids work schedule on top of school and my own shit to do in return for starvation wages? Nah, we're good.
The worst fucking timeline.
I guess the baby-talk "maga" means - bring back child labor. That was the time period when America was greatest?
and anyone who listens to or watches fox news for more than 4 minutes without violently wretching
It was on in a waiting room with the volume on. It was actually physically painful after a while.
Kids can be easily tricked by shitty supervisors to do dangerous jobs because they're not old enough to know any better. Adults are usually smart enough to see the danger in working with machines that can crush and shred you. Or with chemicals that will poison you.
Parents who offer up their kids to these businesses because they "trust them to keep their kids safe" deserve to be kicked in the groin repeatedly.
You almost had me. Most people are dumber than shit
Yep, adults can be dumb as rocks. But trust me, kids can be way, way dumber
His kids first, fields or mines
Minefields?
"Let children do it, but not my children."
His pasty white ass should be in the fields first.
His kids and grandkids first. In fact, if there aren't enough necessary workers, maybe "news" hosts should be forced into labour.
When that doesn'twork out are they going to move to slavery?
magas: Mass Deportation Now!
maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won't have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!
maga 2: Hmm let's see, what other group's labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?
maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.
maga 2: I know! Children!
Subsidized corpo farms: 👍👍 Subsidized small farms: 👎👎 Exploitation of the masses, including the children: 👍👍👍🥰
We can replace the national anthem with that music they use in movies when people are rowing or such. you know. da na na naaa. da na na naa naaa.
Asked Gemini what song you're referring to because I had no clue, and it came back with "O Fortuna"
maybe its more like the day after day in the labor camp type of thing. it has really sad and depressing cadence and not sure what instrument is making it but there is generaly a fatalistic drum hit at the end of each thing.
lol this is the worst description of a song in text form.
I cannot deny that.
Is that the "Oh, we, oh, wee yoh, yoh" one?
its close to that. oof. its so clear in my mind. It might be more like a russian march to a labor camp thing.
Children are the future, but the now belongs to me.
Send Fox employees.
they’re ALWAYS thinking about the children!!!
Its 2025- children are for farm work and sex.
But think of the children!
Now that is a man who really enjoys sniffing his own farts
I really wish these assholes would think of the children less.
Well after all, they don't think children need education
Epstien did replaced adults with children first. I suspect these dipshits will be remembered just as fondly.
"You know what would make this country a better place? If we rolled back regulations to about 1912."
-Repubs
Allow fox news anchors really hard? Sure! Done!
